Police are searching for a ruthless gunman who shot dead a Thai woman and Lao man at a petrol station in the Isaan province of Nakhon Panom. Security cameras at the scene where the two victims worked were out of order.

The deaths of the 33 year old Lao man, Prommajak Sisupha, and 50 year old Thai woman, Witchuda Sisuming, were reported to Mueang Nakhon Panom Police Station at 10.15pm on December 29. Their dead bodies were found at the petrol station on Nakhon Panom-Sakon Nakhon Road, or Highway number 22.

 

The two victims were employed at the petrol station and tragically met a violent end, having been shot in the head and displaying signs of physical assault. Police suspect that the assault occurred before the shooting.

 

As of now, officers are struggling to identify the assailant due to a dearth of evidence. The absence of bullet shells at the scene and the reported malfunction of security cameras several months before the incident complicate the investigation. The bodies remain at Nakhon Panom Hospital awaiting autopsy.

...it can be assumed that the shooter knew this. unless he's careless, he won't be bothered by the police

Co -worker maybe 

He couldn't find the time to contact the Technician to fix the Cameras that stopped working SEVERAL MONTHS AGO........... I'm lost for words, was the owner too busy on FB or playing candy crush. 

I have heard a Myriad of Excuses here in Thailand in 20yrs this must be the biggest load of BS of all of them. Or were there underlying reasons, they didn't want them working, surely not just the cost.  

Gun control going well then. init.   so how many have been shot in the "7 dangerous days"

Or make it impossible. 

"The motives behind the murder are speculated to involve either adultery or a conflict with a client. As per the police report, Witchuda maintained close relationships with multiple men, including her male colleagues, suggesting that the shooting may have stemmed from jealousy"

 

Smearing a dead lady who worked at a gas station.  How low can the police go?

Yes, but what I would say is, if they have reasonable suspicion that this is the case then revealing that might narrow down the search for the killer. It's dreadful stuff though.
